The mistral was really roaring along on Monday. No bike riding occurred. We went to the Bedoin market by car and ran into Nick and Ellen and made a lunch date for Saturday. Once home we had lunch. I made a tomato tart with a bit of crème fraiche and herbes de provence, which was quite tasty, and we had a green salad. The tomato tart was one of the proposed menu items for our dinner guests on Thursday.
After lunch we went to Orange, where everything seemed to be pretty much closed, except for the Orange mobile phone store, where once again, the micro-sim search was fruitless (but where my mobile account was topped up!) At this point we headed towards Chateau d’Hugues, which is in a rather remote part of the massif d’Uchaux, but which I managed to get us directly to by reversing the path I recalled taking last year with Guy and Kate. I was quite pleased with myself, and especially when I got us home quite directly as well. We did not taste any white or rose, but concentrated on the reds, the lighter, more approachable, of which they now sell in 1.5 litre boxes!! We were home by 6:30 and since it was still blustery and chilly we had leek risotto. I made a huge quantity, but we planned for croquettes.
